Jonah 2
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2 And said, I cryed in mine affliction vnto the Lord, and he heard me: out of the bellie of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. (Sheol h7585)
And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou haddest cast me into the bottome in the middes of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waues passed ouer me.
And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
6 I went downe to the bottome of the moutaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer, yet hast thou brought vp my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
7 When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
